Water Ski Worlds 2009

Calgary Hosts World Water Ski Championship Festival - Aug 3-9, 2009
Welcome to the official website for the 2009 World Water Ski Championship in conjunction with the Drenched H2O Sport Music Festival. This is the definitive source for information related to the competition and the Festival of entertainment that will make this an event that you will not want to miss!

We have assembled a dedicated volunteer management team who have developed and are executing a comprehensive professional business plan to deliver a most memorable Festival celebration to the largest audience for a World Championship ever. Our objective is to be profitable, to leave a substantial financial legacy and to advance the sport for years to come.

To deliver the most successful event ever, we need your help – expertise, resources and financial assistance. Please let us know if you want to join or support our winning team.

Canada is a super-power in the sport of water skiing, having won more than 50 medals in world competition, 19 of them gold. The Canadian team is led by Jaret Llewellyn from Innisfail, Alberta. He is the defending World Overall Champion and is one of the greatest skiers in the history of the sport.

Canada has hosted the World Championships on three previous occasions. All of them were unqualified successes, however this time we have something special, the best man-made water ski site on the planet within minutes of downtown Calgary.

I encourage you to come back to this site for regular updates and please be sure to join us in Calgary between August 3-9, 2009.
